A logical extension, I reckon

[Benjamin Barrett]

I think there are multiple items with this problem. I recall asking a twin about this issue and he admitted it's just difficult to express in English. Both "I'm twins with" or "I'm a twin with" sound a little odd. I see that "I'm brothers with" also gets hits even when referring to a singular other person.
